Ulysses
I've always loved this sculpture of Ulysses by Anna Chromy but I'm used to seeing it in Menton where it is cast in bronze/verdigris. This colour is wonderful.
Here it stands on the corner of Port Hercule above the yacht club.

Wedding in the Sun - the Red Hat
Our last day at the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat wedding and how about a guest in a red hat... Actually I think they are called something else when they are small like this? Don't forget - this wedding took place in September, hence the bare shoulders and tan - not that there aren't people still swimming in the sea in Monaco, as you'll see over the next days.
There seemed to be a change of plan as to who held the bride's train. In the lower photo the bridesmaids are in charge and then, when the bride finally entered the church, it was the three pageboys who assisted her.
Long life and happiness to the bride and groom.
Tomorrow - back to Monaco.

Wedding in the Sun - Part of the Action
One of the pageboys looks as if he wants part of the action!

Wedding in the Sun - the Bridesmaids
If you are reading this in a cooler climate, let's cheer you up with a sunny day and a wedding in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. In fact there were two weddings on the day I was there in September - the first was at the Mairie and I posted that wedding HERE.
The other wedding took place later in the day at the church. Here are some of the guests and two bridesmaids on their way to the event.
More tomorrow...

Vistamar Restaurant & Joël Garault
Meet Joël Garault, the talented Chef at the newly refurbished Vistamar restaurant in the Hotel Hermitage. As you see the restaurant has a modern feel to it and the food is delicious, as one would expect in a Michelin One Star restaurant.
I was enjoying myself too much to take photos but in the small shot you see the goodies on offer with our coffee. We didn't have room to eat them...!

No Finish Line - the Cavaliers
Apologies for an image not quite as sharp as usual but I wanted you to see these two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels walking for No Finish Line.
You can see, on the back foot of their owner, the No Finish Line tag and it is this that testifies how many kilometres have been covered. You can see that this lady takes it every bit as seriously as the runner in front of her, even if she doubtless didn't run as far.
Our last day at No Finish Line and congratulations to all the walkers, joggers and runners who raised money for charity over the 9 days.

No Finish Line - Going for the Burn
Some people stroll, some jog and some, like this guy, take it very seriously. Look at his face in the smaller photo. So far as I can make out he finished 5th over all and ran for 190 kilometres. Makes me tired to even think about it. Good for him - he'll have raised a ton of money for No Finish Line and the charities.

No Finish Line - the Dog too...
...and the dogs walk or run for charity too. They have a No Finish Line tag attached to their collar.

No Finish Line - the Convict
You don't often see a convict, with a ball and chain, running around Port Hercule but this is No Finish Line and for that, anything can happen! No Finish Line is a charitable event where people walk, run, stroll around a circuit created at the port.
You can do as many circuits you like or as few and at any time of the day or night and it runs for 9 days. You have an electronic tag attached to your foot and for every kilometre run money goes to charity. Some people walk with friends and chat, others take it really seriously and aim to beat records. There is even a special 24 hour run for the most kilometres during that time - last year's winner ran 248 kilometres in this category.
The record for the most kilometres run by an individual over the 9 days has just been beaten and now stands at 200 ks.
For a full explanation go to the website - NO FINISH LINE - you can see the runners' times in real time. Today is the last day but I took these shots a few days ago. More tomorrow...
